Bhd., a home-grown Malaysian semiconductor wafer foundry, are pleased to announce the impressive results of their recent technology transfer partnership, successfully demonstrating a breakdown voltage of 650V for a D-Mode MISHEMT device using 200mm GaN-on-Si wafer on CMOS compatible fabrication process. The outcome of this exclusive collaboration results in the transfer and establishment of a gold-free metallization and CMOS compatible 200mm GaN-on-Si Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor High Electron Mobility Transistor (MISHEMT) fabrication process in SilTerra.

"IGaN aims to offer an innovative one-stop solution, providing 100mm to 200mm GaN-on-Si epiwafer and 200mm CMOS friendly GaN fabrication processes. This will enable customers in the power semiconductor community currently offering silicon-based power metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and IGBTs to leapfrog into GaN technology devices, unlocking access to the huge opportunity of the US$12 billion power device market using GaN technology," said Raj Kumar, Chairman & CEO of IGaN.

“We are already engaged in positive discussions with other customers enthusiastic about the potential of our platform, keen to accelerate their access into the rapidly growing GaN market, as our new partnership with SilTerra enables mass production of this powerful new technology in early 2019,” he added.

“We are excited about this achievement to demonstrate D-MISHEMT using a 200mm GaN-on-Si wafer on foundry CMOS process. With our close partnership with IGaN, SilTerra is committed to deliver the best yielding process and capacity assurance to fulfil our mutual customers’ business expectations,” said Firdaus Abdullah, CEO of SilTerra.

GaN devices are used for high power density, wireless power transfer, allowing for higher server power, a capability recently demonstrated with great success at the APEC 2018 conference and exhibition in San Antonio, Texas. Using GaN technology, a density on-board charger (OBC) for electric vehicles delivered a three-fold increase in power density at 4kW per litre, compared to a silicon-based charger at 1.3 kW per litre. Further demonstrations revealed that GaN transistors can enable wireless charging to be increased from 100W to 1.5kW.

This innovative technology unlocks the potential for exciting wireless charging applications far beyond low power applications such as cell phones and laptops. GaN also enables greater energy savings and increased power density in data centres, which significantly reduces OPEX, CAPEX and TCO expenses, with a fifty percent power density increase achievable utilizing the same size power supply.

IGaN and SilTerra are together offering an accelerator to spur the conversion of pure silicon and compound-based technologies into GaN-on-Si. This will favourably impact the bottom line and long-term business competitiveness of both power and RF semiconductor companies who adopt this technology. The powerful efficiency performance figures of GaN-on-Si show its further potential as a green-enabling technology, delivering a positive global environmental impact by minimizing power conversion losses.

SilTerra Shrugs Off Weakened Euro Market (The Star)

GEORGETOWN, June 3, 2010

SilTerra Malaysia Sdn Bhd expects a good business year in 2010, as it is not exposed to the European market.

Its chief executive officer Dr Kamalruzaman Bin Mohamed Zin told reporters that the company's customers from Taiwan, China,
and the United States were placing increasingly large orders in the second half for integrated circuits (ICs) with new specifications, which
included ICs for higher voltage, advanced logic, mixed-signal and radio frequency, and light-emitting diode (LED) applications.

"This is why the weakened Euro market does not affect us," Kamalruzaman said at an MoU signing ceremony between SilTerra and
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to formalise an ongoing research collaboration between the former and USM on environmental management issues.

He said the company was running full capacity at its Kulim Hi-Tech Park facility. "We are lucky to be enjoying good business
since 2008, even though the global economic crisis had just started then," he said.

He said the LED lighting industry was a growth engine due to the phasing out of incandescent lighting. SilTerra will allocate
about 15% of its revenue in 2010 for research and development (R&D) activities.

In 2009, the company exported RM600mil worth of ICs, which are used in MP3/4 personal media players, digital cameras, and
global positioning system equipment, Kamalruzaman added.

The signing was held in conjunction with the Second International Conference on Environmental Research and Technology
organised by USM's school of Industrial Technology.

Kamalruzaman said the collaboration would lead to innovations and findings of how to better manage the processes in the
electronics industry, reducing the environmental footprint, and making them more sustainable and competitive.

"The local electronics industry exports about RM20bil worth of products monthly while the oil and gas, palm oil, and
chemical products sectors ship out only a total of RM2bil to RM4bil. The processes leave behind a major footprint in the environment, which
needs to be managed effectively and responsibly," he said.

USM deputy vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Omar Osman said the MoU entailed the R&D of new environment management techniques and
applications that could be commercialised.

He said USM constantly encouraged R&D activities that were focused on promoting and nurturing a greener world through
sustainable innovation and development.

The conference provided a good platform for scientists from all over the world to meet and discuss their latest findings in
environmental research and technology, he said.

2010 Press Releases

Overwhelming orders for SilTerra's wafer chips

Kulim, Kedah, March 17, 2010

SilTerra Malaysia Sdn Bhd has been receiving order volumes that exceed its monthly production capacity of wafer chips since
last year.

Orders started to come in during the third quarter of 2008, when the global economy started to slow down, said chief
executive officer Dr Kamarulzaman Mohamed Zin.

"By the second quarter of 2009, the volume that came in exceeded our production capacity."

"As SilTerra's monthly production capacity is about 30,000 wafer chips, we have to outsource the surplus orders to our
partners in the Asia-Pacific region," he said at a briefing to Malaysian Industrial Development Authority officials and the media at the Kulim
Hi-Tech Park (KHTP).

The orders were growing because Malaysia was increasingly seen as an alternative wafer fabrication site to China and Taiwan.

Kamarulzaman said the cost of hiring engineers for wafer plants in China was on par with Malaysia and thus China no longer
provided the competitive edge when recruiting skilled labour.

"Malaysia, on the other hand, has good intellectual property laws in place, which makes it attractive. Even China's high-end
wafer fabless design house comes to SilTerra, which has over the years established itself as a key player in the wafer chip fabrication business
," he said.

Kamarulzaman said SilTerra was also now exploring the possibility of equipping the KHTP facility with consigned equipment
from integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) that did not want to be involved in wafer fabrication anymore to save cost.

"Under this arrangement, these IDMs will let SilTerra use their equipment for an agreed period. We will also produce for
their customers using the consigned equipment.

"This strategy will help us to save substantially on capital expenditure," he said.

Kamarulzaman also said SilTerra was considering setting up another wafer fabrication plant in KHTP.

Environmentally vigilant, SilTerra delivers award winning, world-class performance to its customers seeking flexible capacity,

Chipus launches a battery charger IP in a 0.18µm BCD process

Thursday 01/12/2016

The power management section of ICs for portable applications often requires low power consumption together with high
voltage operation capability, which leads to big challenges for IC design with respect to power consumption and chip power dissipation.

As this requirement has become crucial in today's market demands, Chipus has updated its portfolio with a battery charger IP
(CM1712ff) using a BCD technology that assures the coexistence of high density logic and high voltage devices, giving origin to a new set of features with configurable
specifications.

The silicon proven IP (CM1712ff), features:

"We launched our first battery charger IP in SilTerra C18GH5, which is a 5V technology. Now, we are launching an improved
version using a BCD process, making it possible to make the circuit tolerant to input voltages as high as 30V", says Daniel P. Mioni, IC Design Leader at Chipus.
"This is an important increment to our IP and IC design services offering in Power Management, mainly due to the high demand for high-voltage tolerant applications enabled
by BCD processes", says Murilo Pessatti, Chipus' CEO.

With the use of the BCD technology in the battery charger IP, Chipus seeks to guarantee high quality and reliability in all
types of application environments. The reliable coexistence on the same chip of low-voltage control circuits and high-voltage DMOS stages with typical voltage capability,
opens the door for uncountable applications. With this achievement, Chipus looks to continue capitalizing their innovative products, develop more tailor-made solutions to
their customers, allowing them to match their specifications in a shorter design cycle.

Chipus Microelectronics is a semiconductor company specialized in the development of low-power, low-voltage, analog and
mixed-signal intellectual property (IP) blocks for integrated circuits (ICs) and systems on chip (SoCs). It develops configurable IP core architectures that allow a good
level of customization together with high IP portability, providing unique level of freedom on customer design requirements. Chipus is headquartered in Florianopolis - Brazil,
with a Sales office in Santa Clara - California and a Sales Representative in Europe.

A broad spectrum of applications associated with the Internet of Things (IoT) is considered as key contributors
for the future of the Internet Economy. While today's internet economy is based on data created by internet of 3 billion people, the new IoT world is about
data created by internet of 50 billion things by 2020. In economic terms, it's estimated that $14.4 trillion of economic value will be created by IoT between
2013 and 2022, and McKinsey expects $4-$11 trillion of economic value will be created per year in 2025. Among the biggest application opportunities for IoT
are in the Manufacturing sector and Smart Cities.

"We are glad that Malaysia is being recognized as a good research and development base for IoT solutions. With
the large potential user base for IoT solutions, especially in manufacturing and smart cities, IoT is a unique opportunity for Malaysia, and it is great to
witness these seven companies collaborating to leverage on that opportunity," said Dato Yasmin Mahmood, Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Digital Economy
Corporation (MDEC).

"Dato Lai Yit Loong, who is the MyIoTC Lead Coordinator and SilTerra's Senior VP of Sales and Marketing says,
"SilTerra is proud to be one of the founding members of MyIoTC. With deep capabilities and track record in developing and manufacturing Integrated Circuits (IC)
which are widely used in IoT applications such as smart watches, wearables, smart homes, RFID and smart meters all over the world, SilTerra is committed to work
with government agencies, research institutions and local technology companies to build and further develop the Malaysian IoT ecosystems."

Since IoT solutions market is highly fragmented, it's unrealistic that anyone would be able to do everything themselves.
Thus, the MyIoTC members decided to work as a team, bringing unique value propositions and resources to the table, complementing instead of competing with each other.
As a private sector initiative, MyIoTC intends to drive the IoT development and deployment together with relevant government agencies, to make Malaysia the IoT R&D,
manufacturing, competency hub for the region.

MyIoTC will focus on six main areas as described below:

Idea Generation - IoT solutions is targeted at creating new values or solving old problems faced by specific industry.
The Consortium seeks to create a platform and program where people of diverse backgrounds and industries can share their ideas and in collaboration with MyIoTC, further
develop these ideas into compelling products and services.

Prototyping - As the members are part of the high-tech industry, they are equipped with unique hardware and software technologies,
skills and resources that will help customers quickly create prototypes as well as validate their IoT ideas. Customers can utilize the offered services in two ways, in which
they could source components through MyIoTC or outsource the entire prototyping project to MyIoTC.

Industrial Design - One of the biggest challenges of hardware projects is industrial design. 5 of the Consortium members are
successful product companies with extensive experience and track record in industrial and consumer product design.

Mass Production - IoT systems are highly customized to specific industries with a service focused instead of hardware focused revenue
model. MyIoTC is very well positioned for the new IoT opportunities as they are flexible to grow together with their IoT customers, giving them the advantage over their
competitors.

Sales and Marketing, Distribution, Branding - With an extensive sales and distribution network, the Consortium is able help their IoT
customers bring their products and services to the market. The customers can leverage on the consortium's existing resources to accelerate their brand building and market
penetration.

IoT Market Place - MyIoTC is building a strong online market place platform to promote the Consortium's offerings, as well as to
engage organisations to help reinvent their companies and industries to deploy IoT solutions. The market place is a platform to bring together various solution providers,
suppliers and customers as it will have a built-in e-commerce and analytics engine which helps customers launch their IoT service on this platform

"With a clear cut focus, I believe that MyIoTC will be a key player in driving the development and growth of the IoT ecosystem in
Malaysia and be able to turn the platform into a locally created and hosted hub for the IoT ecosystem. The Consortium will be a significant contributor to the growth of
Malaysia's Internet Economy" added Dato' Yasmin Mahmood.

The formation of MyIoTC also marked the launch of 'MyIoTC Week 2016', in partnership with KDU, Microchip, Kerlink and Orbiwise.
This will be the first public event to promote "Digital Maker Movement" and to drive innovations of IoT applications for Smart City. The Week will have free seminars and
workshops on the latest technologies and trends in IoT, with the support from MDEC and Invest Penang. Engineering undergraduates, working engineers, technology companies, maker
communities and even businesses looking for IoT solutions are encouraged to be part of these.

A 24-hour IoT Hackathon will be held to celebrate MyIoTC. The Hackathon will take place at the end of MyIoTC Week Penang and will
explore a new emerging technology in IoT - LoRa.
Cytron will be leading the technical committee for MyIoTC week and Hackathon. Aside from providing the latest LoRa nodes (devices), Cytron will also link up with International
companies to setup a complete working LoRa system for this event and deployment for Malaysia in the near future.

Promise of Integrity

On 16 August 2016, Intel Corporation, B. Braun, Keysight, Motorola Solutions and SilTerra collaborated
in a 'Promise of Integrity' event to spearhead an initiative on ethics and integrity. This marked the beginning of a joint effort to lead the way in
upholding the highest standards of integrity.

The five participating companies share the same belief, that a "strong culture of integrity is a bedrock of success for
the business community," as expressed by Anna Maria Braun, Asia Pacific President of B. Braun. The 'Promise of Integrity' "will serve as a compass that guides the
actions of our employees and business partners, ensuring consistent and steadfast integrity as we build trusted relationships in our business community," explains
Robin Martin, Corporate Vice President of Intel.

"Let's give them a compelling reason to invest in Malaysia - not just because we have a competitive labor force, but because
we have such high ethical standards," said Robin Martin in his speech representing the five participating companies.

At the heart of this collaboration, this pledge is a concrete expression to continually abide by the highest ethical business
practices. In this leadership role, the companies aim to transform the local ecosystem by working with their supplier base and other stakeholders to proliferate best ethics

SilTerra in Global Fast Lane

By Rupa Damodaran, NST

Khazanah Nasional Bhd's semiconductor wafer foundry SilTerra Malaysia Sdn Bhd has to work overtime these days with its plant
running at maximum capacity to meet growing global orders

"Our jobs are completely sold out for the first and second quarters of this year," says chief
executive Dr Kamarulzaman Mohd Zin, adding that with demands thrice its capacity, SilTerra is now boot-strapped to the fast lane.

It will soon be getting jobs from Tier 1 electronic companies for this year and more Asian giants
are likely to hook up with its Kulim Hi Tech Park plant as they divert their supply chain ex-China.

Purchase orders are coming in for the chips which are already found in most of the top brand
mobile applications, particularly in the display drivers of smart phones.

Google Nexus 4, which is tagged as one of the world's best smart phones, LG Optimus G or the
Amazon Kindle e-reader tablet , all have touch controller , with the SilTerra chip.

SilTerra, which has spread its wings in the global tech scene, is today more well-known in Taiwan
and China and the giants of the industry worldwide, than in Malaysia.

Malaysia has the attributes to be a sustainable semiconductor fabrication hub for mature
technology market (0.22 to 0.09 micron) and it is cost competitive compared to Taiwan, Korea South Korea and Singapore.

Also, the US IDMs and European foundries are keen to explore extending their footprints in
Malaysia.

Things are already looking up for SilTerra with negative cash flow tides having been reversed
sharply over the past five years.

"We have been operating profitably for five years now, running in a sustainable manner," said
Kamarulzaman, in an interview here last week.

Annual operating profit is around RM50 million per year and this can be sustained for at least
three more years with minimal capital requirements.

But despite its flourishing profits curve, Kamarulzaman admits that he gets flustered by the
negative public perception SilTerra is often placed in.

Often mistaken for the others in the assembly and test and product assembly, which describes the
traditional electrical and electronics (E&E) industry in Malaysia, SilTerra actually stands in at the top end of an industry where the
gestation period can take up to a decade before one can enjoy positive returns.

But that is now all in the past as SilTerra has been kept very busy, having finally found its
niche in the small panel display drivers (below five inches). However, it is continuously facing challenging demands for high and greater
resolution as it keeps up with the latest technology.

"It is a challenging industry but one that will always look north, what with electronics already
embedded in our lives , from telecommunications, healthcare to transportation," Kamarulzaman said.

SilTerra is ranked number 15 (based on revenue) in the global ranking of leading pure-play
foundries, where it serves the mature tech segment of the market valued at US$30 billion (RM90 billion) per year.

One of the reasons for SilTerra to be mired in difficulties in its early years was its attempt to
be in the race with the global players.

The big four - highly-capitalized TSMC (Taiwan), Global Foundries (US), UMC Group (Taiwan) and
SMIC (China) - control 75 per cent of the global market share, leaving companies like SilTerra to depend on "sustainable scraps" which it
considers as substantial.

Cumulatively, SilTerra has exported RM5 billion worth of products since 2001, out of which 75
per cent has local value-added.

The Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) recognizes that aspect and Kamarulzaman also pointed
out that SilTerra has already achieved many of the targets envisioned by ETP.

"Local value-adding to its annual revenue of RM500 million to RM600 million is measured at 70
per cent, far higher than the overall E&E industry average of 25 per cent of the overall electrical and electronics (E&E) industry."

On the prospects of listing SilTerra, Kamarulzaman said it will likely take place once the debts
are cleared.

The company has had cumulative losses totaling RM7.3 billion for the 10 years up till 2011 which
was one of the main reasons it has been placed in bad light.

"But have a look at the numbers -as 79 per cent is due to depreciation and impairment plus
financing costs (due to initial hefty borrowings), and it has nothing to do with our operations," he said, adding that the company can turn
around into profits.

Revenue totaled RM4.8 billion to date while the EBIDTA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization), which was negative in the initial three years, turned positive for seven years out of the 12 years.

With the full redemption of the sukuk come June 2014, SilTerra is expected to show profits.

To Kamarulzaman, the Kulim plant, which is estimated to be valued at RM4.3 billion, can continue to operate for another 20 years.

Infineon's RM4b Reinvestment Undertaking

Business Times

By Marina Emmanuel

marinae@nstp.com.my

2012/05/11

Malaysia's ability to promote the development of high technology industries is a key reason for
the company's huge reinvestment plan. German semiconductor giant Infineon Technologies AG will be pumping in another RM4 billion into its
Malaysian operations over the next decade.

Malaysia's ability to promote the development of high technology industries is a key reason for
the company's huge reinvestment plan.

Dr Reinhard Ploss, a member of Infineon's management board, yesterday expressed the group's
satisfaction with its front-end wafer fabrication facility in Kulim, Kedah, which was set up seven years ago and had seen US$1 billion
(RM3 billion) ploughed in.

"Our Kulim 1 facility is a remarkable success story as it has not only shown a strong track
record in production capacity but also in quality of output. Our customers are pleased with our zero-defect technologies.

"We are confident that our investment will yield a positive return in due course. We have full
faith in our team here in Malaysia and in the government to provide the necessary support."

Ploss this said during a ceremony that saw the Neubiberg-based group announcing plans to set up
a manufacturing competence centre at the Kulim Hi-Tech Park.

Reisinger said Infineon had started construction of the new facility, dubbed "Kulim 2", which
has the capability to produce 300mm wafers and is due for completion by the end of the year.

The state-of-the-art manufacturing competence centre will produce megatrend technologies for the
energy efficiency and automotive industries.

Work on the shell of Kulim 2 to create 12,000 sq metres of clean room space started in August
last year.

Reisinger said Infineon's decision to expand its Kulim operations reflected its strategy of
driving its own organic growth.

"Being our first front-end wafer fabrication facility in Asia, Kulim has successfully established

ETP Targets 50 Integrated Circuit Producers By 2015

Business Times

2012/04/03

MEETING TARGET: Efforts will be intensified to attract multinational corporations and grow local
players.

ONE of the critical areas for the electrical and electronics sector (E&E) this year is to address
the shortfall in meeting the key performance indicators (KPI) target for the growth number of integrated circuit-design firms.

The issue is highlighted in the Economic Transformation Programme's Annual Report 2011.

The roadmap for the transformation of the E&E sector requires a 10 per cent annual growth rate in
the number of integrated circuit-design companies to produce the much needed highly-skilled human capital.

The Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (Mida) and supporting agencies, namely the
Northern Corridor Investment Authority (NCIA), the Economic Planning Unit, MDeC, SilTerra and the fabrication consortium, will intensify the
drive to attract multinational corporations (MNCs) and grow local players.

The target is for a total of 50 players by 2015.

Under the National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) for E&E are four business opportunities, namely,
semiconductors, solar, light-emitting diodes (LED) and industrial electronics.

The report said to date, the International Trade and Industry Ministry and Ministry of Science,
Technology and Innovation have yet to transform these opportunities into Entry Point Projects (EPPs) as the focus for the first year was on the
successful implementation of the EPPs.

Another target for 2012 is to increase silicon production and support the growth of substrates
manufacturers and related industries.

Sarawak will be promoted as a site for silicon producers and solar glass, providing incentives to
new silicon producers.

To address the power needs of the industry, priority will be allocated for hydroelectric power to
the solar industry rather than other energy intensive-industries like aluminium and steel.

Apart from growing solar wafer and cell producers and increasing solar module producers, it also
targets to develop LED front- end operation and creating local solid state lighting (SSL) champions.

Malaysia has the potential to become a global leader and hub for SSL, which is a sub-segment of
the larger lighting market.

Malaysia also hopes to attract additional 30 per cent investments in test and measurements from
MNCs and attract more local test and measurements design partners.

On the automation equipment manufacturing, the report said the Centre of Excellence for Machinery
and Engineering Services is expected to be operational at the NCIA Technology Design Centre by the first quarter.

As for building an electrical home appliance manufacturing hub and international distribution
network, a proposed consortium with Pensonic is expected to hit annual sales of RM2.2 billion and to source 50 per cent of its requirements
locally by 2020.

Four cross-cutting common enablers were also listed as critical enablers to the E&E NKEA -
northern corridor, Klang Valley, Johor, as well as Sabah and Sarawak.

In the last quarter of 2011, The Performance Management & Delivery Unit held a three-month long
Cities and Corridors Lab, together with the corridor authorities, such as NCIA and various stakeholders in the area.

The common enablers were addressed in these labs, of which the three-feet level programmes will
be announced this year.

The 2020 target is to have an incremental GNI impact of RM53.4 billion and additional 157,000
jobs, the report said.

SilTerra Plugs into of Power MOSFET Market

To help it penetrate that market, it has found a partner in the applied-research organisation
Mimos Bhd. Microcircuit technology is able to prolong the battery life of electronic devices such as mobile phones, portable media players and
laptop computers.

According to its chief operating officer, Dr Kamarulzaman Mohamed Zin, SilTerra has always had the
know-how for Power MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) wafer fabrication. But the company did not have the resources to
produce these in the volumes that would enable it to compete in the global arena effectively.

He said the wafer fabrication environment is not "like screwdriver production" because it involves
a blend of science, engineering and technology. Wafer fabrication, he said, has been described as among the most challenging manufacturing
operations in the world.

With Mimos onboard, SilTerra is able to tap the applied-research organisation's best-in-class
designs, R&D and wafer-fab facilities to produce between 2,000 and 3,000 Power MOSFET wafers every month for the global market, China
especially.

Each wafer can be used to produce from 1,000 to 2,000 power semiconductor microcircuits,
depending on the design.

It is also a win-win situation for both parties because Mimos would benefit from the Power MOSFET
technology knowledge transfer, said Kamarulzaman.

Globally, the semiconductor business is huge; last year it was worth about US$300bil (RM900bil),
with a compounded annual growth rate of 7% to 12%.

A recent Frost & Sullivan study shows that the global marketshare for power semiconductor accounts
for 4.5% of the total semiconductor sales worldwide.

It also shows that in spite of the dip in sales in 2008, demand has been on the rise since then,
and this is expected to continue for the next three years thanks to the steep rise in the sale of consumer electronics, particularly in the
mobile and communication segments.

SilTerra-Mimos Partnership Heralds New Start

Wednesday February 22, 2012

Written by Karamjit Singh

The Edge Financial Daily, February 22, 2012

KUALA LUMPUR: Two of the leading homegrown high technology companies, Mimos Bhd and SilTerra
Malaysia Sdn Bhd, entered into a smart partnership on Monday to produce power management integrated circuit (PowerMos) wafers for SilTerra's
global market. Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir called it "a new beginning where Malaysian-owned
companies form smart partnerships to help achieve the government's desire for high knowledge-intensive collaborations which ultimately lead to
boosting the nation's competitiveness."

PowerMos wafers are critical in an ever more connected world where digital devices are constantly
connected to the Internet or mobile networks to source for information. PowerMos wafers help improve the power efficiency of digital devices.

Unknown to Malaysians, SilTerra, is already one of the top 20 foundries in the world in terms of
revenue. A 2010 Gartner report on the top foundries in the world by revenue had SilTerra at the 17th spot with US$180 million (RM543.6 million).
The 2011 report is still being finalised. A key driver of this revenue comes from display drivers where SilTerra has captured an estimated 21%
of the global market for display drivers. According to SilTerra CEO Dr Kamarulzaman Mohamed Zin, this figure is based on SilTerra's customer
estimates. Display drivers are chips that run the screens of smartphones and tablets and are appearing in an increasing number of other
consumer digital devices. Gartner predicts that smartphone sales will triple to 492 million units by 2012 from 139 million in 2008. The
computer market will expand to 443 million units from 290 million over the same period.

Kamarulzaman said SilTerra has been developing PowerMos technologies for a while but has not had
the production capacity in meaningful volumes to produce the wafers in-house.

"We have been running our fab at full or near to full capacity [40,000 wafers a month] for the
past three years with customer orders and have been exploring several fabs around the region, including in China and Japan for us to tranfer
our process technology and get the PowerMos wafers produced," said Kamarulzaman, adding that he is happy to do it with Mimos, both for
logistical reasons and economic ones.

He described this strategy of using a second party's production facilities as "asset-light" model
which saves SilTerra hundreds of millions in capex versus expanding its own manufacturing. A Taiwanese semiconductor online publication has also
reported that SilTerra has tied up with a Taiwanese DRAM foundry, ProMos, to utilise its manufacturing facilities too.

Meanwhile, Abd Aziz Kadir, chief operations officer of Mimos, hailed the collaboration as one that
will give it a "secret recipe" to make market-relevant products. "We have been focusing on R&D all this while and have top-class equipment that
is as good as any world class manufacturing facility in the PowerMos space. Our collaboration with SilTerra helps us meet market demand as they
have more process integration engineers who understand customer requirements and translate that to a manufacturing recipe which we will then
take and convert into PowerMos wafers."

SilTerra is saddled with a RM1.8 billion sukuk bond and though it has been running at an Ebidta
positive rate for the past three years, its main shareholder, Khazanah Nasional Bhd has been looking at a strategic partner which can take up
part of its stake.

Environmentally vigilant, SilTerra delivers award winning, world-class performance to its customers seeking flexible capacity,
custom technologies, competitive advantages and around the clock customer support. SilTerra is ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001 certified. Starting
